people want to know how do they pay their taxes, how do they join the military? how do they start a business. they want to be fully functioning member of the community. >> thank you. senator grassley. >> my understanding of the bill, so far, is that undocumented immigrants will get every opportunity to apply for legalization and will have more opportunities if the bill were to pass to appeal the decisions that the homeland security officials make. would you discuss that part of the bill, please? >> the bill permits those in deportation proceedings to apply for the amnesty. people who have already been deported, at least those deported over the last year and a half certain ones to apply for the amnesty. if they are turned down initially because of some inadequate documents, they're allowed second bite at the apple. so in this, you know, i don't mean to be flip about it, but this section could have been sub headed knowingly left mind. the goal seems to be to get as many -- get amnesty for as many people as physically possibly. >> okay, mr. kobach, i'm going quote a

they almost all pay in more taxes and take out over a lifetime. that seems like a pretty -- i think that is a matter we ought to consider. we think about the total flow into was admitted to america. >> the amount of these is up to 180,000, three times the current. some say their is a need for these workers, especially in the s.t.e.m. field. you testified unemployment does not assert that. significantly honing american workers. i here college graduates are having a hard time, even engineering students are not able to be employed frequently in america. what is the status there? how would you explain your testimony? >> i'm happy to. well, mr. smith gave some data. he said just over 3 percent unemployment. is date is right. a problem is, the interpretation is wrong. we would expect when we are at full employment in these up -- occupations, about a one and a half% rate. about twice where we should be at full employment, so he is misinterpreting the data. i don't think that raising the cap to 180,000 is warranted in any way, shape or form it is business

would gun owners be subject to still more fees or taxes for exercising their second amendment rights? who would have access to the so-called registry? would the public know who owns guns and who does not? who would ensure that this sensitive information is protected and not used for political purposes, and how? we do not know the answers to these questions, but we do know that such restrictions will not prevent the next tragedy. we should not start down this dangerous road. what should we do instead? i have a few suggestions. instead of undermining the second amendment, mr. president, congress should focus its attention on three areas. first, i believe that robust prosecution of violent criminals is the best deterrent for violent crime. prosecutors should punish to the fullest extent of the law individuals who misuse guns, knives or anything else to commit violent crimes. there should be no leniency, mr. president, what ever for the commission of such crimes. secondly, we should examine and address any deficiencies -- and we have them -- in our mental health system. time and again we
